If any problem involving circular motion, which way does the acceleration vector point ?

Physics
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The acceleration vector always points towards the centre of the motion. This is referred to as centripetal acceleration. It accounts for the centripetal force that tends to pull the object in circular motion towards the centre of motion.

Consider the diagram below;

it illustrates a body in circular motion along the black circle, with the acceleration vector a shown by the orange arrow pointing towards the centre of motion and the velocity vector v shown by the green arrow pointing tangentially away from the circumference.

<span>6.6 degrees C Let's model the student as a 125 w furnace that's been operating for 11 minutes. So 125 w * 11 min = 125 kg*m^2/s^3 * 11 min * 60 s/min = 82500 kg*m^2/s^2 = 82500 Joule So the average kinetic energy increase of each gas molecule is 82500 J / 6.0x10^26 = 1.38x10^-22 J Now the equation that relates kinetic energy to temperature is: E = (3/2)Kb*Tk E = average kinetic energy of the gas particles Kb = Boltzmann constant (1.3806504Ă—10^-23 J/K) Tk = Kinetic temperature in Kelvins Notice the the energy level of the gas particles is linear with respect to temperature. So we don't care what the original temperature is, we just need to know by how much the average energy of the gas particles has increased by. So let's substitute the known values and solve for Tk E = (3/2)Kb*Tk 1.38x10^-22 J = (3/2)1.3806504Ă—10^-23 J/K * Tk 1.38x10^-22 J = 2.0709756x10^-23 J/K * Tk 6.64 K = Tk Rounding to 2 significant digits gives 6.6K. So the temperature in the room will increase by 6.6 degrees K or 6.6 degrees C, or 11.9 degrees F.</span>

a chemical reaction a temperature change may occur because of the breaking or formation of chemical bonds that release excess en
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

it cannot be considered a physical change because it occur from the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

because physical change is the change of the size,volume, density,flexibility. in other words its a change in the outer appearance or change in which we can see or feel without using a tool or a machine

hope it help just my opinion
